Would you repot the cattleya now?

As you can see, there is almost zero media in the pot.

Keikis budding on D. Pierardii

Ok, so the D. Pierardii I received in the mail three weeks ago has at least two and maybe three keikis budding. I wasn't expecting them in early March. Should I be worried.

You're saying then that a den pierardii that looks like mine does now will not bloom this spring. Is there a reason I cannot mount it now and fertilize it in that case?
